Graduate/Postdoctoral Researcher - Image Analysis and Software for Connections Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford Grade 7: £30,434 - £37,394 with a discretionary range to £40,847 p.a. The Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain (FMRIB) seeks a graduate or postdoctoral researcher/programmer to work with Professors Mark Jenkinson and Stephen Smith in the FMRIB Analysis Group. Employment would ideally start in November/December 2014, is fixed-term and funded by the European Research Council for a period of 3 years in the first instance, as part of the Developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP). The dHCP is a collaboration between King’s College, FMRIB and Imperial College and will chart the growth of connections in the human brain, before (in utero) and after birth in 1000 babies using diffusion and functional MRI.

The postholder will work on the “structural” aspects of connectome modelling, including the spatial modelling of cortical surfaces, as well as developing analysis pipelines (software development and scripting) for the overall analysis of the dHCP connectome image data. This will also involve porting connectome analysis pipelines from the US-based Human Connectome Project to the dHCP, and interacting with the structural image processing research and informatics that will be carried out at Imperial as part of the dHCP. Candidates should have skills in computer programming (ideally shell scripting, Matlab and C++), and ideally also experience with image analysis research/programming.
